DePere Roundabout Backups

Many more folks than normal are using the DePere bridge because 172 is under construction. There was a backup this morning as a result. “It wouldn’t be any better if we had traffic lights at the intersection,” Beiderwieden said. “It probably would be worse.” This is very likely true. Police Chief Beiderwieden is very likely right. Modern roundabouts move more cars and people faster than signalized intersections.
